Orientation of ellipsoid

Hello, I am using ellipsoid function to represent an ellipsoid graphically. The input list requires me to enter the coordinates of the centre of ellipsoid and its semi-axes. There is no input for the orientation of the axis of the ellipsoid with respect to the coordinate system. Is there any way, this can be incorporated if my ellipsoids are at angle with respect to x, y and z axis.

See the help for the ROTATE function.
For example:
[x, y, z] = ellipsoid(0,0,0,5.9,3.25,3.25,30);
S = surfl(x, y, z);
colormap copper
axis equal
xlabel('X')
ylabel('Y')
zlabel('Z')
pause % Push return to see the rotation take place.
rotate(S,[0 0 1],45)

Of course they change.
>> plot_ellipse
>> Z = get(S,'zdata'); % Get the zdata before rotation.
>> rotate(S,[1 1 1],45);
>> Z2 = get(S,'zdata'); % Get the zdata after rotation.
>> isequal(Z,Z2)
ans =
0
Now you can do the same thing with xdata and ydata.

You can generate an ellipsoid with the ellipsoid function and while plotting you can use the rotate() suggest by Matt.It should help you.
